🎃Lucky you! The Vongola have invited you to their annual costume Halloween Ball! What's your outfit?

//stares at her Haru and Hibari cosplay from eons ago

If it were at all possible for me to dress as a Namahage, I would. I would probably suffer from lack of mobility and it being super hot-- but I 100% would get Haru's attention. She's my absolute favorite (MY LOVELY QUEEN!!!!!), so that's a win in my book.

Realistically, that would be a hard costume to procure. Let me dress up as a ghost. Can be an easier costume to set up, and I can hang out at the food table the entire time and cite that I'm a hungry ghost. Staying in character!

😺*BAM* You've been Checkerfaced and are now an Acrobaleno. What's your animal companion?

The arcobaleno were chosen because they are the best in their respective fields and have the ability to protect the pacifier in their own ways. I cannot imagine that I would make a good arcobaleno by any stretch of the imagination, but you could argue that a lot of the animal companions either fit the profession/vibe of the arcobaleno they are paired with, or it's something that they probably like themselves.

Tbh, if it's about vibe or something, I think a deer would suit me lol. I'm easily frightened and i'm very jumpy like a deer. So, it fits my vibe. The thing with deer is that they are flighty creatures, but if they must, they will stand their ground. Deers have charged at humans before and have caused actual damage. Just like with mice, you corner them, and they'll attack.

Speaking of which, maybe a chipmunk. It is one of my nicknames bc I love to eat and I like to nibble on food like a hamster does. Fill up my cheeks with sweets and chew chew chew. Obligatory electric rat comment because I said that of the flame types, probably lightning suits me best, AHAHAHA. Give me

Give me an electric mouse. I'll call it Peek-a-chu lololololololololol

🎩You fucked around and found out. Now, you are hunted by the Vendice. They are persistent and there's no escape. Obviously, your only choice is to fake your death. How would you go about it? (Bonus question: what did you do to get on vendice's shitlist?)

As we canonically know, Vindice are like the police of the underworld and they'll capture anyone who breaks the law of the mafia world. Not only that, but they are also triggered into appearing if you make a vow of something, particularly if you stake your fate/destiny/soul/etc. Basically, any kind of vow with weight to it.

So the Primo Vongola and Shimon vowing that their future generations would be friends, they're vowing on the destiny/fate of their future generations being on friendly terms. That's a heavy vow to make- which prompts them to appear because they too were promised things, but then what did they get out of their service in the end? Betrayal and death.

That's why they're very keen to making sure that big promises are kept.

We also know that the other thing that prompts their appearance is the next coming of the Arcobaleno being born, especially by combat to choose the strongest 7 (as evidenced in last arc). Though, as we know how the arc ended, that shouldn't really happen anymore, so it's more of a non-issue.

However, I bet they would be prompted to act if you showed signs of wanting to be the next checker-face. That would get you on their shit-list, along with you breaking a vow. Breaking a mafia law is another one.

I suppose if you did anything to break the device that the Vindice is now guarding, you would be on a shitlist, because it's that very device that made it possible for them to in essence usurp that responsibility from checker-face.

Ah, the other thing that prompts their arrival is if anyone tries to create the Flame of the Night as only those within their group are authorized to use it in plain terms. I aint about that life tho.

I have a tendency to be a bit dramatic with my sense of humor and I like to troll a bit. I can imagine me trolling around being like oh look 'it is I, DI- CHECKERFACE! I SHALL MAKE A NEW SET OF ARCOBALENO!' and that may rub some feathers the wrong way. How that conversation even begins? Who knows.

Or I somehow stupidly broke a mafia rule- and I wouldn't be surprised and they'd have to come for me.

As for faking death, there is no sense in faking death with them, as then you'd also have to assume a new identity and live in hiding, basically. That's a hassle. That's a lot of work. The only way for me to reasonably be able to do any of that is through connections or having a really strong illusionist involved. Canonically we know that a very small number of illusionists are even powerful enough to fool the Vindice to begin with (ie Fran or Mammon).

Mammon aint helping me. My bank account not that big. Fran... press x to doubt. I don't have connections, nor would I have anything to offer to even prompt anyone to want to help me.

Really, the best thing that I can do is just sit there and 'I apologize for my wrongs, please take me away and i'll obediently wait my sentence out'.

If you think about canon, they don't really- kill people. They simply jail people in specialized cells. Even Mukuro who has done really really bad things, he was just held captive. He wasn't given a death penalty or anything like that. The Vindice was willing to kill in the final arc because this is a battle for the right to see Checker-face again to get their revenge. They gave ample warning that any further hinderance would warrant death.

They attacked people for their watches, but none of them died, because they don't just take lives for no reason. That would be like them playing with lives, and they don't do that- because that's what Checker-face does. Instead, they go by the books and punish people by holding them captive, similar to how IRL jails work- you hold them captive if guilty. (ignore the fact that a lot of our justice systems are very... yeah)

So, i'm fairly confident that I have no need to fake death. I just need to either plead my case, or accept my sentence. We know that they will release people once the sentence is up, or that they've done something meritable enough to warrant release ie Mukuro helping to defeat Daemon.

We do know that they are willing to listen or at least offer ways out in the chase with the Shimon vs Vongola arc. Though the 10th generation failed the vow, they weren't all immediately jailed. They were given the chance to prove themselves through battle and the eventual reconciliation. Yes, this was set up by the two Primos themselves, HOWEVER, the fact that the Vindice were willing to abide by set parameters shows that they are willing to allow leniency.

I'm pretty by the books for the most part, so I usually won't do anything that breaks the rules. I can't really imagine doing anything that would warrant them being out for me. I was either set up, or I did something on accident. If so, I'm sure my sentence wouldn't be that long.
